This photo was taken in Kato Gouves Village, Island of Crete, on Monday, February 23, 2009.Nature's colours in Crete during winter can be very warm and saturated. Crete's North Cost offers to the photographer a variety of waterfront subjects like this beautiful small boat.

The unique texture of the clouds and the rocks along with the solitude of this colorfull boat make me love that photo!

This photo was taken in Heraklion Port, Island of Crete, on Saturday, February 14, 2009.Heraklion Port is one of the largest and busiest international ports of Greece, especially during the summer months, connecting the Island of Crete with Pireaus and the Greek Mainland, Island of Rhodes and other smaller Islands. Also it is a major stop-over for large holiday cruisers.

During the winter months, you have the opportunity to experience relaxing afternoon promenades next to the water. The depth of this image, the saturated winter colours and that man with the red jacket who came exactly at the right moment make me love that photo!

This photo was taken in Elafonissos, Island of Crete on Saturday, November 29, 2008. Elafonissos is one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. It is located about 70 kilometres South-West of Chania Town. During Spring and Summer months you get a real tropical feeling. A beautiful collection of small coves with all the shades of pink and gold, shallow and calm waters with cedars right next to the waterfront. During the winter months, when all the tourists have gone and strong winds from the Libyan Sea are hammering the south cost of the Island, then the whole scenery changes dramatically. It is exactly when you can get a photograph of that area in a way that very few people have done it. That's why I love that photo! Photographer's website

I'm a landscape photographer based in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Member of the Royal Photographic Society since 2007 and of the Hellenic Photographic Society of Crete since 2009.
Born in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece in 1970. During my studies at Northumbria University in Newcastle, England back in 1992 I have discovered for the first time my passion for photography. Since then I spend most of my free time chasing the right light, angle & composition. I prefer to capture scenes at the extremes of the day, where the results are most dramatic. I'm particularly attracted by the beauty and wilderness of the Aegean Islands in winter.
I started with analog cameras, nowadays I continue with digital cameras, using new techniques and giving more possibilities in landscape photography.

RPS_The Royal Photographic Society

The Royal Photographic Society was founded in 1853 'to promote the Art and Science of Photography', a mission it continues to this day in the United Kingdom and through its considerable overseas membership.

The Cretan section of the Hellenic Photographic Society (H.P.S.) was founded in Iraklio in 1964. Love for the art of photography prompted a group of people to set as their goal the further expansion of this art form, along with the initiation into its secrets of as many others as possible.
